We were going to try it tomorrow with our kayaks but my wife thinks the winds will be too intense!?!?!?!?!

Maybe we'll go to Amber if it's open.

Amber was just great before we got there, ain't that the way it is. We decided to leave Rock about 10ish and drove to Amber. We tried every type of fly in our boxes even some real ugly ones that I tied for fun with hippy beads. Tried floating line, sinking line, trolling, drifting, sitting still and working one area, nothing.

One guy had some luck on a San Juan worm early in the AM! I looked in all my fly boxes as I know I had some as we used them a lot in Alaska as soon as the ice left the lakes, couldn't find one damn San Juan worm until I got home and found some other boxes I left home.

Talked with an elderly fella that said the fish were hitting like crazy before 10 and then it just ended.

Anyway had a great day lots of sun, lots of water fowl, fresh air and fun being out with my wife.

I am still deciding on where to head this weekend, maybe tigers or carp or bass at Newman or Silver, maybe pike on the PO, but I think we are still a couple of weeks out until its on, maybe browns at Liberty. Let me know next time you head out. I make it out to most of our local waters pretty regularly.
